And I have great success with all of them. I’m not a genius, nor lucky. Yet I own a few key ingredients that most people lack (especially the Internet beginners and newbie bloggers)

I try to master the blogging game and practice it daily. It’s more than a sport.

It’s a real passion which I turned into a real business.

Traffic-generating is an art in itself – just like the art of making money (aka blog monetization)

Here’s a sad FACT: most bloggers are still looking for the magic button guaranteed to help them make a quick buck.

I can’t blame them because they’re not armed with the right mindset.

Things might get even worse though..

While newbies try hard fooling around with lousy money-making schemes and useless traffic-generating tactics(e.g. “guaranteed traffic”, “FFA advertising”, etc.) the pros are playing the game on another level.

It’s not that the pros are rich, or have two brains. They thing is that they play the blogging game by the same rules but with a different mindset (and on a different level).

Pro bloggers know it takes smart work, perseverance and testing to make BIG money blogging.

And mostly learned this by trial and errors, not from some book or training program.

That’s why learning from a pro is wise because you can cut the learning curve and you don’t have to buy new books or attend expensive seminars anymore.

If you are a newbie you probably want to start on a small level as you can’t compete with the big guys yet and you’re not having “their” mindset.

Plus, it’s always smart you start slow and use what you already have. That’s HOW most of the pros have started.

Did you know this?

*** the best Free Blog Monetization Strategy on the entire Internet is called AdSense. I can’t stress this enough.

I guess I’ll have to write more articles about this topic until I make you realize that no money-making strategy should be neglected, especially AdSense.

1. Why would you want to leave money on the table?
2. Would you be happy knowing that your competitors get paid by AdSense while you don’t?
3. Would you feel safe with just one stream of ONLINE income?

I hope the answer is a loudly “NO”, or I’d have to wake you up! Just look around you..

Most of the blogging pros are getting multiple streams of income and the most exciting part is that they’re usingfree traffic strategies. Yeah, no AdWords whatsoever!

Case Study #1 – StevePavlina.com

“StevePavlina.com was launched on Oct 1st, 2004.  By April 2005 it was averaging $4.12/day in income. Now it brings in over $200/day $1000/day (updated as of 10/29/06).  I didn’t spend a dime on marketing or promotion.

In fact, I started this site with just $9 to register the domain name, and everything was bootstrapped from there.Would you like to know how I did it?” – Click below for the full story:

Case Study #2 – AlexKing.org

“I’ve tried both Google AdSense and the Yahoo! Publisher Network for contextual ads. I even experimented for a while loading each half the time. Neither one was a major payday for me, but the basic results I’ve seen are:

* Yahoo! pays a little more.
* Google’s ads are more relevant.

I pretty much only use Google’s AdSense now because I prefer the relevance to the extra couple bucks.”

If you ask me, you won’t ever see a pro blogger get paid from just one program, or focus on paid advertising tactics.

Moreover, you won’t see pro bloggers use splogs or copy others blogs (or bloggers). Pro bloggers are remarkable in thereal sense of the word. At least those that I know and recommend.

In conclusion – most folks dream to get the end result (e.g. traffic and profits) yet they forget that before you reap the benefits (get the end result) you have to build a foundation. The end result is gathered when you worked the basis.

“You reap what you sew” is true, especially in this case, right?
